@RiotRepertoir Teemo needs more ult buffs.

I was very excited to see the recent change on PBE which gave his shrooms 7 minute duration. I think it was a mistake to revert that change. Teemo's winrate has been declining despite receiving small buffs in 5.20 and 6.1. He has less than 50% winrate even against some champions that he should counter (Nasus). I dont think the new items will change that. First of all AP teemo mainly scales with mpen/cdr/ap. None of the new items provides mpen, and mpen rush is just so much better on AP Teemo than ap rush due to his low scalings. By the time you get the core of Liandries, Void, Sorc and Rabadons or Nashor's, which is when Teemo could possibly waste an item slot for one of the new items, it's already super late game and you're better off getting a defensive item instead. Most of them provide mana and a passive based around mana, in the fashion similar to the current RoA, which is built in less than 2% of all teemo games - teemo just doesn't synergize with the new items well. If he wants a mana item, it's always better to get morello for the cdr. His ultimate is also hard countered by the new red trinket - a free item that one person on the enemy team pops and your enitre lane of shrooms is gone without dealing any damage. Other than maybe a possible W change, ult duration buff is one of the best possible solutions to buff AP teemo. Please reconsider that change, thanks.

Wait, so he's not getting the 7 minute shroom change or...? Because honestly, Teemo needs those things since most Teemo players can barely keep up with the meta.

It got reverted on the PBE, which means it likely won't make it to live.

Damn... He really needed those buffs... Honestly, he needs a rework to be made viable instead of just a joke. I'll cling to the hopes that one day it will happen.

They just reverted a nerf on his shroom. He will basicly be the same as he was before the nerfs. It will be enouge for now.

They where do some testing to put in on 7 minutes and reducing the cooldown.

I think that the change is reasonable for now; considering that I had given up expecting riot to even touch Teemo. They are right to be careful about him. His kit needs to be kept in check because it is broken. I want him to remain in a subpar state until hopefully they decide to give him the rework he deserves (also a VU; he looks outdated af).
